Question I think my MB is bad. If so, what do you think would be a good replacement.

@Shmee i've seen two 4790k dead now actually, and in the same board no less lmao. One had 4 pin pads that were varying amounts of totally gone from half pad to completely removed. I'd offer him the board since it's still good but IDK if it has a ghost in it or what lmao

Question Help tuning 3600mhz DDR4 in Gigabyte X570 boards, I've all but given up getting it to work as rated

Okay somehow it just magically works now on auto with the XMP profile. The only things i did were apply the CAD bus strength and change my RttNom value, and I changed command rate to 2T, and now it works with XMP and everything on auto. I'm pretty sure ultimately the only thing I changed was the...

Question Help tuning 3600mhz DDR4 in Gigabyte X570 boards, I've all but given up getting it to work as rated

So long story short, I rebuilt my PC back over the holidays (3800x, AORUS x570 Elite rev1, 3600mhz G.Skill Trident Z Neo CJR dies) and I didn't pay a lot of attention to the memory timings till more recently when I noticed it wasn't running the XMP profile at all and was at 2133mhz in windows. I...

I ordered a Corsair XG7 only to discover that my ASRock challenger isn't reference design. Now I'm looking for a card that is reference to replace it but have no idea how to identify a reference PCB from item listings other than looking for an 8+6pin design. I had my eyes on the Gigabyte AORUS...

Can't figure out what e-mail I used for BOINC in the past, any way someone can help me find this info?

You raised an interesting idea, Im going to try and find an old gen iphone charger and plug in my old phone from then that I still have, see if an old email that's still logged I may have forgotten pops up. I doubt it though, super long shot and IDK where my old charger cables even are anymore

water temp is definitely on the higher end, i can attest to this by using an IR thermometer to check the temps externally and i'm getting temps ranging 95-105f on the tubing and as high as 115 on the fittings. The direct backside of my hottest 290x is 105f to give you an idea of how well the...
